created by our industry.



May 25, 2010.....Harrah's New Owner of Thistledown

March 8, 2010.....Penn National Gaming to Acquire Beulah Park in Ohio

Legislative Update: LetOhioVote.org, the group pushing for a statewide November ballot issue aimed at barring Ohio
racetracks from installing video lottery terminals (VLTs) at their facilities, has submitted an additional 155,000 signatures
to the Secretary of State for approval that would give them enough signatures to place the issue on the November ballot.
The language in House Bill 1 (HB 1) is the implementation language needed to allow Governor Ted Strickland's Executive
Order for VLTs to go forward.  Both horsemen's representatives stated that Ohio horsemen supported the concept of VLTs at
the racetracks & expected a fair & equitable amount of revenue for horsemen. If the HB 1 languageis on the November ballot,
the Ohio horse racing industry must come together for a strong grassroots campaign to pass the language which will allow
the Governor's Executive Order to move forward.
